The first rule about LIGHTer Club..

[BitterAndTwistedChoreDodger]

Is you don't talk about Lighter club

Only Joking - No Rules.

Welcome to our second thread, lots of chat and healthy eating.

I'm Bitter, have about 7lb to lose. Eating Less, Moving more.

A quick Hello, have been out with the DC's for the day, we went to see Shrek 4 .

I hope all are well. I will try tocatch up later xx

Is Shrek 4 rubbish then?

I have just cooked an amazing roast (beef, yorkshires, roasties, carrots, green beans and real gravy) and made a treacle sponge for pudding. I am FAB! (and modest too )

Feel a bit happier now, just freaking a bit as DD has been difficult for a few days (nightmares last week and not really caught up on lost sleep) and the dawning realisation that i am actually having a baby. Went into labour on DD's due date so very real possibilty of it happening this time too. DD is now in bed and full of stodge so should sleep well

SSSSSSSSSSSSSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!

Hello gorgeous!!

Hope you are ok.

I'm saying night as I've beds to make, fancy soft drinks to drink, DS to feed, DD to help, bathroom to clean and dishes to wash!!

Phew!!

Bitter - roast beef was utterly horrid = puke! [revenge and lying through her teeth emoticon]

Day 7 and no booze!! Yippeeeeeee! I love this clear view on life. Sorry to bang on about it.

So tired though! Is alcohol a stimulant? I was always wired before....now I could sleep for England!

Night lovelies, be back briefly tomorrow as PIL are here.

Hope you are all ok.

xx

Mouse, off for 8 days to Ireland . Has taken all day to prepare though

of Bitters impending I-phone. I only pay £10 a month for 400 free minutes, unlimited land lines and unlimited texts so cannot justify a change

We have read bedtime stories to the DD's from about a year. They love them and usually have 2 or 3 a night

Alice - hope your day has quietened down and you can relax a bit now

Arf at pidgeon. Always get it wrong

Never apologise for being proud of what you have achieved Mouse x

Shrek was OK ish, wearing a bit thin IMO.

Reading is intermittent in this house. As much as possible with DD but by the time DS is in bed I am truly shattered so he misses out. I am going to pick a book to read to both of them two or three times a week but DS gave most of ours away without asking.. he kindly donated them to a a school fete!

We mostly have picture stories with DD's age reading in them. Hundreds of them, but not all that engaging to read as an ongoing story. I must re invest in them.

I am enjoying all the snogging and being bossed by ID.. that sort of dominance I can handle

I am ON with a vengeance, bloody cycle and the pain

Crispy - have a wonderful time!! 4 days in Dorset will take a good week in this house to prepare!! I started today!!!

Night all. xx

Evening all.

Just popping in, off to watch the wire in a bit.

Chicken went further than I thought - still @ roast beef though.

I haven't said I am getting an iphone, it's just that they have a staff only deal atm where you pay £175 for the phone, then it's £15 a month for a 12 month contract. We get paid every 4 weeks rather than every month which means we both get 13 paydays a year, so tecnically as I get paid twice next month I can afford it.

We'll see.

Alice, very impressed at you cooking up a storm.

Crispy have a lovely trip

Mouse - didn't do bedtime stories when DS was little as he was a great sleeper pre-2.5, so he just conked out between 7 and 9 pm. Then the SN /language delay years hit (think he was traumatised by starting nursery, poor lamb), and he was regularly up till 2 am. Do what you and DS enjoy, as long as he gets sung/talked to, the rest will follow as he gets older.

Kerry, Beara and Kilkenny Double . Anywhere near you?

Night Mouse

Would a nice soak in the bath help Mittz?

fota wildlife park near Cork is lovely, lots of free roaming animals.

Staying here Double. Just watched the countryfile forecast and looks good . A tad cloudy but no rain and quite warm. Will keep fingers x'd though

DH found a local festival going on from 10-12 (i think) which looked good. Will add Dingle to the list

Did you like the music? . We told DD1 (3 3/4) that they had a campers lounge and everyone came together to play music and sing, and she said, why do they do that?

Sorry, missed you there TC. Not sure if we will be passing by Cork, but added to the list. Keep em coming.....

Hello lovelies - TC, nice to see you, feel I've been missing you lately, we must post at different times.

Bloody Hell, it's quiet tonight.

One episode left of the first season of the wire - it's bloody brilliant. Massive thanks to Hells if she ever wanders over this way.

DH is walking Poochie the shadow dog so thought I'd pop on to say goodnight - working tomorrow so won't be round much.

Night Lovelies x

Morning all

All set for busy day staring at a computer scree. Roll on tomorrow......
